The comment requests clarification on the land use assumptions for the site in the DSEIR, comparison of the trip generating potential for various land use alternatives, and review of the potential impact of their Proposed Project as compared to the land uses evaluated in the DSEIR. LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS The land use assumptions for the site under the various DSEIR analysis scenarios are summarized in Table 1, which reflects the best information available at the time the analysis was prepared. Development of up to 210,000 square feet of commercial development was assumed for the site with buildout of the General Plan. The HE Project proposes to decrease the level of commercial development and include multi-family residential. Two Alternative land use scenarios were also evaluated, which include varying levels of retail and multi-family development. The Project currently being contemplated for the site includes less retail development than analyzed in the DSEIR.
